Little emperor

Chapter 88

Song Shangshu's family did not hide too many rare treasures, but Commander Ye found out that the Song family had several manors outside the city after interrogating the Song family.The imperial army found a lot of money and treasures in the Song family manor.

Song Shangshu still wanted to deny it, but refused to plead guilty.He claimed that he did not know that someone deliberately hid money in his Zhuangzi.

"Your Majesty, this minister is a Minister of Gu Ming appointed by the late emperor! Someone must have deliberately framed this minister!"

Song Shangshu knelt in front of Gu Yang, crying with snot and tears, very miserable.

Zhao Youxiang was silent, his face was gloomy, and he didn't make a sound to defend Song Shangshu.

He Zuoxiang and Liu Shangshu kept attacking Song Shangshu and mocking Zhao Youxiang.

Li Taifu and Zhou Shangshu watched the play without saying a word.

"Song Shangshu still remembers that he is the Minister of Gu Ming appointed by the late emperor! You are so corrupt and accepting bribes, cover up local officials to do evil, and help the tyrants to do evil. Do you deserve the trust of the late emperor! You deceive the superior and the inferior, ignore the court, and the crime is added to the crime! Death! Not a pity!" Liu Shangshu's face was distorted with anger when he learned that so much money was found from the Song family.

As an official, who doesn't accept some gifts, but enough is enough.Corruption like this, really damn it!Especially how many poor people have been harmed by sheltering such a treacherous person as the prefect of Qingzhou!This person is still thinking about using his status as Minister Gu Ming to beg the little emperor for mercy, it's just a dream!

Gu Yang was in a complicated mood.Originally, he thought that as long as he investigated the case clearly and dealt with the officials involved in accordance with the court's laws, it would be fine.Officials who have done bad things and violated the court guidelines should be punished.

But now looking at what Li Taifu and Zhou Shangshu meant, they didn't want to continue to investigate this matter, especially they didn't want Zhao Youxiang to have an accident.And He Zuoxiang and Liu Shangshu wished to drag Zhao Youxiang into the water and destroy the rightist faction.Zhao Youxiang was obviously an official involved in the case, and he didn't speak out for giving up Song Shangshu. He wanted to cut off his right arm to protect himself.It can be seen from this incident that it is really not easy to move a minister.

Objectively speaking, Zhao Youxiang is indeed loyal, talented and capable.Keeping him can check and balance He Zuoxiang and balance the power in the court.But Zhao Youxiang has close contacts with Song Shangshu. Song Shangshu condoned the officials below to do evil, disregarded the government and the country's laws, and bullied the people. This is the foundation of destroying the country!

If it weren't for the blessing of Song Shangshu, would the prefect of Qingzhou dare to bully the people so arrogantly?What ability did Song Shangshu rely on to protect the officials below?It was not because of the protection of Zhao Youxiang's thigh that Song Shangshu dared to accept bribes boldly.In the end, it was Zhao Youxiang who gave this group of people the courage to use their power to do evil.

Should we keep Zhao Youxiang for the sake of the overall situation, or should we investigate and uproot all the officials involved for the sake of the people.

For a country to exist for a long time, the people must protect the regime, and the regime also protects the people.If one's own people bully one's own people, and politicians use power to bully the people, in the long run, people's grievances will accumulate step by step, and the accumulation will become more.It must be like a flood, directly destroying the temple.If the people lose their hearts, the state power is in jeopardy!

After pondering for a long time, Gu Yang has made a decision in his heart.Zhao Youxiang must clean up.Not only for those poor people who are being bullied, but also for deterring court officials.Knocking down a big tiger can make the officials of the imperial court restrain their behavior within three to five years, and dare not use their power at will to do evil.

"Your Majesty! I have been wronged! Someone must have maliciously framed this matter!" Song Shangshu just pleaded not guilty, and when he spoke, he pointed at He Zuoxiang and Liu Shangshu.

This action made He Zuoxiang and Liu Shangshu very angry.With dark faces, the two continued to spray Song Shangshu.

Gu Yang shook his head, raised his head and said to Mr. Wang: "Eunuch Wang, since Shangshu Song feels that he has been wronged, let someone investigate this matter."

Director Wang nodded, and specifically said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, after all, Song Shangshu is a Minister of Gu Ming personally appointed by the late emperor. This case is serious. A highly respected minister is needed to lead someone to thoroughly investigate this case."

Small eyes narrowed, staring at Mrs. Li.

Li Taifu said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the old minister has the courage to ask for an investigation!"

As a veteran of the three dynasties and an upright and pure minister, Taifu Li is indeed the most suitable candidate.

Gu Yang nodded to him, and responded: "Then it's hard work, Mr. Ma. Check it out."

Zhao Youxiang heaved a sigh of relief, his expression softened a lot.As long as the Left Prime Minister doesn't send officials to investigate Song Shangshu, then he is safe!If it is the leftist faction who investigates Song Shangshu, he will definitely be dragged into the water!Taifu Li is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration, so he will definitely not let him fall.If something happens to the right-hand faction, the left-hand faction will definitely have power!At that time, there will be no forces able to check and balance the leftists!Taifu Li certainly does not want to see this situation.

"I obey the order!" Li Taifu bent down.

Everyone left, Gu Yang pretended to be curious and asked Manager Wang: "When did you catch the prefect of Qingzhou?"

Mentioning this matter, Director Wang immediately told the little emperor about Luo San's return.

Gu Yang played with the jade beads and asked suspiciously: "Luo San is guarding Prince Zhao all the way, did Prince Zhao mention the matter of Wei Luo's treasure?"

A word to remind Mr. Wang, yes!Didn't Luo San ask about Wei Luo's treasure from Zhao Wang's son?Manager Wang couldn't believe that the two of them didn't say a word along the way!He immediately called Luo San over, and asked about Wei Luo's treasure in front of the little emperor.

Luo San looked hesitant, and replied in a low voice: "It is true that Prince Zhao did not speak to the humble. However, the humble found a strange letter from him. The content of this letter, the content, the humble can't understand. I asked the gods in my dream, Got the guidance of the gods."

"Why didn't you tell our family about this before? Could it be that you concealed it on purpose?" Director Wang was a little displeased. This Luo San is really dishonest!If the little emperor hadn't paid attention to Wei Luo's treasure and asked Luo San face to face again, Luo San might not have told the truth!

Luo San shook his head quickly, and explained: "I don't dare to be humble! It's just that these days are too busy, and I occasionally forget some things..."

Director Wang said with a half-smile: "Guard Luo concealed these things, could it be that he wants to use this matter to find opportunities for promotion in the future?"

Luo San lowered his head, looked terrified, and replied to Manager Wang: "The humble official is loyal to His Majesty! Because the gods have said this, I can only teach His Majesty, not others..."

Manager Wang was thoughtful, if what Luo San got from King Zhao's son was the contents of Wei Luo's treasure, he really shouldn't tell others, he could only tell the little emperor.

"Our family believed you for the time being. Guard Luo made great contributions, what reward do you want?" Director Wang changed his smile and asked Luo San in a friendly manner.

Luo San raised his head and told Manager Wang his thoughts: "The humble official wants to stay with His Majesty as a royal bodyguard. He doesn't want to be promoted, but just wants some money. Also, the old mother at home is not healthy, so I ask the imperial physician to treat my mother."

Manager Wang smiled, but this person's thinking is simple.He said to Luo Sanyan: "Your old mother is in the palace. Our family asked the imperial physician to visit her and prescribed medicine for her. As for the reward, just wait for the news!"

"Thank you Lord Long En!" Luo San smiled very happily, as if he was extremely satisfied.

Manager Wang waved his hand to let him back down.

Turning his head, he whispered to the little emperor, "What does Your Majesty think of this guard Luo?"

Gu Yang thought for a moment and replied, "He is a filial man."

Director Wang nodded with a smile, and told the little emperor softly: "From the fact that he doesn't ask for promotion, he just wants to stay in front of the imperial court as a bodyguard, and he also asks for money to see a doctor for his mother. From these points, it can be seen that this person does not seek power. He is loyal and filial. This person can be reused in the future."

Although Taifu Li is also teaching the little emperor how to understand people's hearts, Director Wang always feels that Taifu Li's teaching is too complicated, and he always involves his family, country and world.It's better to analyze the other party's character and character from the other party's words and deeds, and then directly tell the little emperor whether such a person can be close and trustworthy.

"I know."

Gu Yang nodded obediently, put down the jade beads in his hand, and asked Mr. Wang seriously: "Will the Taifu handle Song Shangshu's case impartially?"

Director Wang made a gesture to get all the guards in the palace to step down. He said in a low voice: "Song Shangshu has always been the right-hand man of the right minister. The right minister must be involved. But for the stability of the court, the Taifu may not The Right Prime Minister will be found. Therefore, the result of this matter is to investigate and deal with the officials who secretly communicated with Song Shangshu. They are all small fish and shrimp."

Gu Yang looked disappointed, as expected.He murmured in a low voice: "Those officials are small fish and small shrimps, so what are the common people?"

Director Wang was stunned, his expression paused, he looked at the little emperor softly, and asked in a low voice: "Does your majesty want to move the right minister?"

"The Grand Tutor told me that if the prince breaks the law, the common people are the same. No matter who makes a big mistake, it should be dealt with fairly."

Gu Yang didn't answer Mr. Wang directly, but Mr. Wang understood what he meant.

After thinking about it for a while, Manager Wang said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, now the left and the right are eager to take this opportunity to overthrow the right. And the right will definitely abandon the car to protect the commander and give up Song Shangshu. He has been an official for many years and wants to It's not easy to catch his criminal evidence. The key to this matter is whether the Taifu wants to check the right-hand man. The Taifu is an old fox, if he wants to use the right-hand man, he must have a way."

In Li Taifu's eyes, the interests of the imperial court are more important than everything else, especially the overall situation, and he is not easy to persuade.If Manager Wang tried to persuade Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li would definitely not respond, and instead would reprimand Mrs. Wang for being too long-handed.

Therefore, it is up to the little emperor to let Mrs. Li check Zhao Youxiang!After all, Taifu Li cared most about the court and the little emperor.Maybe the little emperor can persuade Li Taifu to investigate the case to the end.

"Then what can I do?" Gu Yang asked Manager Wang sincerely.

Director Wang bent down and told the little emperor his thoughts with his ear.

Gu Yang listened very carefully.
